Anthony West denies previously published opinion on his doping case

More than a month after making a public reaction on the social networks to his suspension for use of doping substances, Anthony West comes to give the said by not said. The Australian rider assured that the publication made at the end of September does not correspond to his opinion.

In the publication dated of September 25th, West apologized for the statements against the FIM and the anti-doping program after being suspended, in a context of ‘anger, frustration and a sense of hopeless’. The rider assured that he supported ‘clean sport and the FIM’s initiative to execute its anti-doping rules’. Moreover, West also said at the time that the FIM had not infringed its rights in the case and intended to settle everything in a conciliatory manner by having hired a lawyer.

But now, more than a month later, the rider competing in the Supersport World Championship came to say that the publication in question didn’t match his impression, when writing on Facebook: ‘To date, nothing the FIM has done has affected my rights in this case and I intend work with the FIM in a conciliatory manner to resolve this case so that both of our interests are met as best as possible. I cannot comment any further on this case until it is resolved but thank you in advance for all of your support through this trying time’.
